I know there are some people out there who would rather forget this ever ever got released, but here's a reminder of our first and only free flexi disc

Well, it seems like almost every other major Punk act has had a reunion at some time, so why shouldn't we, eh?
Minus one member of the original line-up, of course, since that seems to be pretty much mandatory.
And so, 40 years after we stood on Reading station platform, waiting for a train to take us to a Stiff Little Fingers gig and idly debating what would be a good name for a fanzine, Eddie Snide and Captain Callous were reunited.

Inside the esteemed publication. Not as much coverage as Sniffin Glue or one or two others but at least it's immortalised!

So, here it is, by popular demand (well, one person seems to want it), yes, it's the GRINdinG HalT flexidisc. Eddie, please forgive me. It might sound like a scratched and broken 30 year old record, but actually this is pretty much as it sounded. I tried to enhance it using noise removal, but it just wiped it clean!
